Liaison Position Available

I am also looking for a course liaison. The course will waive the $525 training/certification fee for that individual. The liaison completes many tasks as assigned such as: ---arranges for the borrowing of instruments for the course if we cannot meet the requests of our instructors with UNLV equipment and the instruments supplied by WEST Music

--- is available Friday and Sat., July 6 & 7 for course set up. This includes lifting and unpacking many boxes of Orff instruments. It is not a task for the physically challenged. It is a physically hard day.

---moving instruments between rooms as needed

---assisting with transportation for clinicians

---assisting with packing up the instruments used during the course and returning borrowed instruments on Friday, July 20. This is also a very physically demanding day.

---basically being on call to do what is needed.

It is suggested that this person not be enrolled in Level III, as the course is demanding enough without the extra burdens of the liaison's job.

If you are interested in the liaison position please send me a statement indicating why you think you should be considered via interact or orffjune@aol.com.

Thanks for considering our course. Hope to see many of you this summer.
